Fourth grade is a very interesting grade. My students come to me very curious about the world, forming their own little lives, and all wanting to learn!
As a teacher, I get some students at the beginning of the year who hate school and some who think it’s okay and just something they have to do.
My goal, as a teacher, is to have them begging to come to school and even disappointed if they have to miss school.
I have figured out how to do this. We have to make our classrooms a place where students are comfortable and forget they are even in school. We also have to make learning engaging, hands-on, and memorable!
My Project
I have also noticed that there is a lot of stress about fractions from my students due to missing school from COVID-19. For inside the classroom, we are in need of fraction fun. Kids do not understand fractions from a worksheet. They need a hands-on approach and this is what I am trying to give them! I love finding quality games to play with my students- they don't even realize they are learning.
For outside the classroom, we are in need of balls to play with at recess.
